"Furthermore, Meta's conditions permit data from users to be shared with third parties." ...I don't know if it has any legal implications, but it sure does undercut Meta's ethical high ground, that they will tell people all about their users for money in order for them to serve up advertisements. The case in question would on the surface appear at least as valid a reason.

> it sure does undercut Meta's ethical high ground, that they will tell people all about their users for money I'm sorry, where do you infer that? Meta literally refused to do exactly that, and went to court to defend the practice. They're only doing so now because they lost.

Meta does not share individual user identities and other metadata the court is demanding with 3rd party advertisers.

Go on, then. Go buy some emails from Facebook (not public ones like mine that I have listed intentionally public) and show us. You won't be able to. Facebook doesn't sell emails or identifying data.

  I don't think you understand. The complaint isn't that FaceBook sells data; it's that it gives it freely away. To literally quote from the Privacy Policy [1] > We share information about you with marketing vendors. For example, we share your device identifier or other identifiers --- But this is all irrelvant. Meta's Privacy Policy makes it extremely clear that they will share your data when there is a court order. > We access, preserve, use and share your information: > In response to legal requests, like search warrants, court orders, production orders or subpoenas. These requests come from such as civil litigants, law enforcement and other government authorities. about when we respond to legal requests.

    Go get the "username, email address, telephone number, and the IP address used during registration and logins". Then post here. Since it's free, should be easy. Talk is cheap, show me the money/code/emails.
